The Central regional Minister Thomas Aquinas Quansah has revealed that Cape Coast leads in child prostitution cases in Ghana.
He said the findings were made known by a recent United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF ) report.
According to him, UNICEF has the problem captured in its report and was planning to collaborate with the Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana (PPAG) to mitigate the situation.
Through the UNICEF/PPAG collaboration, child prostitutes in the metropolis would be mobilised and given some vocational training to help them generate income, since poverty could be the top-most factor for engaging in such activity.
Mr. Quansah has also appealed to the Methodist Church to think of ways to help keep the children out of prostitution.
